Superted and the magic word is the earlier classic episode from The magic of superted on video which was first released in 1982. In 1984, SuperTed became the first British cartoon series to be aired on The Disney Channel in the United States. Walt Disney Home Video subsequently released all 36 episodes on six videocassettes. In 1989, SuperTed was revived in America by Hanna Barbera (who also made Fantastic Max, another Mike Young creation), this time named The Further Adventures of Superted. Only Victor Spinetti returned from the original cast to voice Texas Pete, but the UK Version of the series did feature Derek Griffiths, as SuperTed Melvyn Hayes as Skeleton John Pertwee, as Spottyman in the original series. The new series takes on a more epic format, often splitting its episodes into two parts. Texas Pete, Bulk, and Skeleton are joined also by new villains, and the theme song was replaced with a more dramatic overture. This SuperTed series did not last beyond one season. When the original season of SuperTed had phased out, Fantastic Max took over from it and the rhyming garbage man Dumping Jack Trash was the replacement character for Texas Pete. The Further Adventures of Superted is the 90's cult classic. This classic episode won a BAFTA in 1987.

1. I came here to find out if the voice over at the start was Patrick Allen, it sounds a lot like him.
2. I watched te credits, and as a kid took no interest, but 7:12 I paused it and can't believe the ledgendary voices they had on this kids show, Melvyn Hayes, Roy Kinnear, Roy Kinnear - LEDGE! and JOHN FUCKIN PERTWEE!! And also Victor Spinetti, I can't beleive the line up, and recording the voices must have been a riot!!Can't believe it's taken me till sdulthood to really appreciate SUPERTED
